In April 2021,
Disney+ had commissioned a series of multiple British produced television series, including
Culprits, which was set to be written and directed by
J Blakeson. In August,
Nathan Stewart-Jarrett was cast in the lead role. Production on the series began in February 2022, with additions to the cast including
Gemma Arterton,
Eddie Izzard and
Kirby Howell-Baptiste. Composer
Marc Canham wrote the score for the series.
Locations Filming of the series took place in both Europe and
Ontario, with Canadian locations including
Hamilton and
Cambridge. UK filming took place in a house on Hickin Street,
Isle of Dogs, London, designed by Vandana Goyal from Studio 9 Architects,
London. Further filming took place in
Manchester, on Dale Street and Paton Street, and in a park off of Paradise Street in
Rotherhithe, London, during March 2022. On 23 March 2022, the production company (Character 7) cordoned off Little Lever Street and Bradley's Court in Northern Quarter, Manchester, with the assistance of
Greater Manchester Police. The scene being filmed featured a S.W.A.T team shooting at a fleeing car. Character 7 had placed notices around the surrounding areas some weeks earlier notifying residents that there would be loud gun fire and a screeching car. On the day of filming, a production fire engine sprayed the roads so that it would appear that it had been raining during the scene. == Release ==
